    Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa
  Close at hand
  Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa
  To hold their hand
    I look in the eyes
  Of a beautiful child
  They tell me more than words
  He reaches his hand
  And cries for something
  Oh I'll give himm all I have
    Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa
  Close at hand
  Every baby needs a mama, needs a papa
  To hold their hand
    Birdies on the window
  See the birdies on my window
  If I could fly oh babe
  then I would fly, ooh ooh oh
  Believe in me, yeah
    I'm holding his hand
  And giving my love
  Through happiness and sorrow
  And in no time
  He'll be a big boy
  Oh what a wonder of love
    Every baby needs a mama...
  Close at hand
    Oh little baby you're not alone
